What does Chelsea smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, with leisure wear also common. Voters lean masculine, though classic and feminine votes are not rare.

The top pairs bergamot with vetiver for a fresh, green start. The heart of pepper, oud and cardamom adds a spicy, smoky edge. The base of vetiver, patchouli, mahogany and amber settles into an earthy, resinous, animalic warmth. Kemi Hayat and Arquinesia Scent of History have a close profile.
